I guess I'm not following what you are saying because neither example you gave (1984 or brief history of time) is a short 20 minute read (200-350pages).

 

Please elaborate...

That's because you're a fucking idiot who can't read:


Outside of media easily found and read within, say, twenty minutes online (such as poetry and short story collections)
 

Outside of

Lets knock autism now.

 

Anyway, I'd prefer it to be a book of the month as I'd be buying it off amazon and the fact that a week isn't enough to read or even reread something and soak it in.

 

Just sayin

"Autism" is the new "gay". As in, a new insult that doesn't mean what it inherently means. Or maybe I just spend too much time on 4chan.

The idea of this was (yep, past tense) to discuss books and other written media that we have all likely read - to give direction to a discussion. Learn a little, and enjoy other's opinions.

I'm happy to call it quits at this point, because it doesn't look like it was going to work. Not necessarily a lofty idea, sure, but one that doesn't seem to be too popular already.

The good news is that there's nothing stopping any of us creating a thread to talk about any book at all, with no strings attached. So, I'll give that a go.


Thanks guys.

Mr. bossman, why are you so frightened of me? Constantly slinging insults my way attempting to improve your self worth?

 

I read your description and understood the first part and then you go and give 2 examples that didn't meet your criteria... why give examples that are not in line with what you are looking to do?

I'd love to join in on this, though just from a contribution standpoint with commentary.

 

Also, '][' [[]] [[]] ][,, why is everything you post now in that yellow box? I noticed it a while ago and thought it was some sort of glitch, now I'm curious.

I imagine it's to inflate his ego.  I don't like it personally, but without removing the rich text options available to all of us there's no way to do that.

The fact that people don't like it makes me want to keep the yellow box even more.
